Flushing the Hydraulic System
IMPORTANT
If a component failure occurs in the traction circuit; refer to
Filtering the Closed-Loop Traction Circuit (page 5–54)
for additional
information.
IMPORTANT
Flush the hydraulic system whenever there is a severe component
failure or the system is contaminated (for example, the fluid appears
milky, black, or contains metal particles).
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower any attachments and stop the
engine. Remove the key from the key switch.
2. Read and adhere to the information provided in
Removing and Installing the Hydraulic System Components (page 5–49)
.
CAUTION
Flush the hydraulic system with the hydraulic fluid as warm as
possible, but to prevent additional system damage, Do Not operate a
machine with contaminated hydraulic fluid to warm the fluid before
draining.
IMPORTANT
Follow all local codes and regulations when recycling or disposing
the hydraulic fluid and filters.
3. Drain the hydraulic tank into a suitable container; refer to the traction unit
Operator’s Manual
.
4. Drain the hydraulic system hoses, tubes, lift cylinders and other components
from low points in the system.
5. Remove and replace the hydraulic-fluid filters; refer to the traction unit
Operator’s Manual
.
6. Inspect and clean hydraulic tank. Remove the hydraulic tank if necessary;
refer to
Removing and Installing the Hydraulic Tank (page 5–62)
.
7. Connect all the hydraulic hoses, tubes, and components that were
disconnected while draining the system; refer to
and Tubes (O-Ring Face Seal) (page 5–8)
